Closing time

Now for some bad news:

I am putting the blog on blocks for a while.

It may last only this weekend.

It might be several months.

But I’m worn out.

Chat rooms will continue as normal.

But I need to rest.

And think.

    I had wondered how you kept up the pace. Well deserved break.

    We will miss your informative posts. You have earned a break. Warm wishes

    Not surprised; it’s obvious you work very hard at this. We appreciate your hard work. You have accessed sources that most people could not find in years of searching. I especially appreciate your work on the Newfoundland water dog and lots of other animals that I did not know existed.
    Rest up. Maybe you can come back once in awhile as you find stuff you think others should know about, but without the 24/7 pressure.
    Thanks for a wonderful blog.

      I am as healthy as can be.

      I just need some time to think.

    It’s been a great educational experience reading your material. Well done. You’ll be back.

    “I just need some time to think.”

    Can you not multitask? I mean keep working and keep thinking?

    I’m gonna miss the blog but I know exactly how you feel. Get yourself some R & R & I hope to see your lucid, informative blogging again some day, but if that day does not come, I’ll remember your previous posts with appreciation.
